Tasers finally down Sacramento parolee after rampage - Sacramento News - Local and Breaking Sacramento News | Sacramento Bee

Tasers finally down Sacramento parolee after rampage - Sacramento News - Local and Breaking Sacramento News | Sacramento Bee: "When they arrived, officers found Tillman and his father, Junius Andrus Tillman, 59, walking down the freeway with a pit bull, arguing with each other, CHP spokeswoman Lizz Dutton said.

The officers took the elder Tillman into custody. The younger man then ordered his dog to attack the officers. They responded by shooting him with a Taser, according to the CHP.

Unfazed by the jolt, Andreas Tillman pulled the prongs out of his body and then went after one of the officers and knocked him out, the CHP said. Several more officers who then arrived shot Tillman again with their Tasers and subdued him."
